A solid pre-match choice near London Stadium: it’s about 1.3 miles (≈24-minute walk) from the ground and close to Stratford’s rail/Underground/DLR links, making it easy to get to and from the match. Inside, CAMRA notes around 15 TV screens and the pub brands itself as a football pub with dedicated fixtures pages and TNT Sports, so you can watch live games if you’re ticketless or arrive early/late. Food is served through match hours (typically 11:00–21:00), useful for lining up before kick-off or post-match. It’s also highlighted in West Ham fan pub guides, indicating a home-fan leaning on matchdays.

A modern great barn of a pub close to a rather fine church in Stratford. The Sportsman, as the name suggests, carers for just a out any sport you can think of. The place is littered with big screens showing at least three different sports in my visit. There is an excellent range of beers, lagers, ciders and cask ales on offered, all competitively price. Mine was also fresh and cold, excellent! Loads of room however big your group. Great service. All good for a sport fest. There are a couple of pool tables too should you feel urged to indulge.

I had a fantastic experience at the Sportsman Pub. Their Neapolitan pizza is absolutely delicious – perfectly baked with a light, airy crust and rich, authentic flavors that make it stand out.
A special mention to Himesh Patel, who served us with great professionalism and warmth. His attentive service and friendly attitude really elevated the whole dining experience.
Highly recommend both the food and the service – I’ll definitely be coming back!

Thursday after work dinner and beer. Great choice of ales, lager, ciders not the same old boring supermarket stuff. Top quality service. Competitively priced sensible menu with plenty of choice. Great vibe and lots of screens to watch your preferred sport. Gemma was so attentive and runs a great venue with a good team.

What a gem! Zigma was amazing serving our group. She passed all our comments to the kitchen, steaks were medium-rare, exactly how we wanted. Beers, shots and amazing service made our day! One notch down on the atmosphere as we felt the lights could be a little more dimmed. But gee, the place has all it takes and gents toilets on the ground floor too!

I went for my birthday party and I chose the bottomless brunch deal. The experience of unlimited drinks for two hours was really amazing and it is the best experience. If you want to enjoy your birthday party with unlimited drinks, I would recommend it to everyone. Please do not forget to book a table.
